11/30/2006
Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 160.900 Prescription Drug Marketing Act--Pedigree Requirements under 21 CFR Part 203 [PDF  Size 42 kb]. This CPG describes how the agency intends to prioritize its enforcement efforts in the first year after the December 1, 2006, effective date of 21 CFR Sec. 203.3(u) and 203.50. In addition, the FDA is announcing the availability of a "Guidance for Industry: Prescription Drug Marketing Act Pedigree Requirements Questions and Answers" (PDMA Q & A). The PDMA Q & A guidance is issued in response to the many questions received regarding the Prescription Drug Marketing Act PDMA pedigree requirements. FDA is implementing the PDMA Q&A guidance immediately, because the agency has determined that prior public input is not feasible or appropriate. However, FDA is opening a docket on the PDMA Q & A for interested persons to submit comments and questions. FDA intends to review the comments and questions and to revise the PDMA Q & A when appropriate. The agency believes that it is important to maintain FDA's written responses to the significant questions concerning the PDMA pedigree requirements in a single guidance document that is periodically updated as the agency receives and responds to additional questions. We intend to use the following four indicators to help users of the guidance identify future additions or revisions: (1) The updated guidance will be identified as a revision of the previously issued document, (2) the revision date of the guidance will appear on its cover, (3) the edition number of the guidance will be included in its title, and (4) questions and answers that have been added to the guidance, or prior answers that have been in any way modified, will be identified as such in the body of the guidance. The two guidance documents explain FDA's current thinking on issues related to the pedigree requirements of the PDMA.
 


11/02/2006
Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 100.550 Status and Responsibilities of Contract Sterilizers Engaged in the Sterilization of Drugs and Devices (CPG 7150.16) was revised on October 3, 2006 and is now in effect. Revisions were made throughout the CPG, most significantly, to conform to the device registration regulations. If a contract sterilizer only distributes sterilized devices to the manufacturer or other registered firm and does not ship the sterilized devices into commercial distribution, then it is not required to register with the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (21 CFR 807.20(c)(2)). Additionally, a contract sterilizer located in a foreign country is only required to register if it imports, or offers for import, the sterilized devices into the United States (21 CFR 807.40(a)).
